Boston (CNSNews.com) - As President George Bush edged closer to the 270 electoral votes necessary to secure re-election, supporters of Democratic nominee John Kerry openly wept and consoled each other at the Election Night celebration in Boston's Copley Square.

Some Kerry supporters called Bush's platform "all lies" and heckled a group of College Republicans who were passing through the crowd.

A distraught woman confronted Democratic U.S. Rep. Harold Ford in the lobby of the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel and screamed, "Can you tell me why everybody made a mistake?" Ford responded, "Let me talk to the candidate before I make a comment. It's been a long day."

Another woman standing near Ford began to openly weep at the prospect of a Kerry loss.

Former California Democratic governor Gray Davis spoke briefly with Ford and then essentially conceded the election to Bush and looked ahead to 2008.

"We owe it to the people that we represent to reassess and try and fix what went wrong and come back with a winning coalition and strategy four years from now and try to figure out a way to win the country back," Davis said.

When CNSNews.com asked why he had confidently predicted a Kerry victory just a few hours earlier, Davis responded, "I, like many people saw the exit polls, which saw Kerry ahead in every battleground state."

"We believed they were a precursor of a great evening," a somber Davis explained.

While Davis said he was "very proud of the campaign Kerry ran," he did criticize the party's efforts in southern states.

"Part of [winning the White House] is certainly not writing off the South. It's too big a part of America just to concede to the other party and expect to win," Davis said.

Davis praised Bush's re-election campaign.

"The president has worked hard for his re-election since the moment he got to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue," Davis said. "He is surrounded by very smart people, they are very good practitioners of the art of politics," he added.

'It's all lies'

Meanwhile, outside Kerry's Copley Square rally, a contingent of College Republicans from Northeastern University marched through the sea of Kerry supporters and got heckled.

"You vote for Bush, you get what you deserve," shouted Kerry supporter Bob Bryant to the GOP contingent.

"Bush has put forward a platform that people tend to believe even though it's all lies. Bush is dishonest; he is not being honest with the American people," Bryant said.

Another man shouted to the Republicans "This is why the rest of the world calls us ignorant Americans. You obviously don't read the newspapers or you would not believe as you do."

A woman, unhappy the Republicans were there, screamed, "someone shut up those idiots.'

Brian Henchey, one of the College Republicans marching through the crowd told CNSNews.com that he had "never seen more sad and depressed faces in my life than what I have seen here in Copley Square tonight."

"I think our president is a strong man, he is a strong leader. He is what this country needs," said Megan, one of the GOP marchers.

Kerry supporters from Ireland weighed in on why they believe Bush will likely be re-elected.

"It clarifies the fact that American people aren't so smart. If I could, I would have voted for Kerry," said the woman.

Boston (CNSNews.com) - A supporter of Democratic nominee John Kerry compared conservatives to Adolf Hitler in a series of interviews with the media at the Democratic Election Night party in Boston's Copley Square. Joe Pulliam of Bedford Mass., said "Thomas Jefferson - liberal, Abraham Lincoln - liberal, Jesus - liberal, Adolf Hitler - conservative. Hey where do you stand?" Pulliam told CNSNews.com.

"All of these people are making liberal sound like a dirty word. It's not. It's the thing that built this country. All of these conservatives that want to grab freedom and democracy -- it's not theirs, it's ours. It's liberalism that made this country," Pulliam added.

Pulliam, who carried a sign stating, "Al Franken fans for Kerry," went on to decry what he called the "incompetence" of the Bush administration.

"Where has there not been incompetence in this faith-based presidency? It's just all based on faith. Let's hope it all works out. Let's do the dumbest thing you can possibly do -- the worst answer to any question and hope it works out" he said.

"It's the incompetency stupid," he added. Pulliam echoed many of the Kerry faithful gathered in Boston when he described his reaction to a possible Bush victory.

"It clarifies the fact that American people aren't so smart. If I could, I would have voted for Kerry," said the woman. She also went on to say....America is Evil....Please, please can I become an American?

What is interesting is now that the far-left libs know that voting against Bush (certainly NOT FOR Kerry) did not work, there will most likely be the normal EXODUS from offices....like the cockroaches they are.

Since they are only INTERESTED IN POWER AND CONTROL, if they don't get it, they just leave.

"We owe it to the people that we represent to reassess and try and fix what went wrong and come back with a winning coalition and strategy four years from now and try to figure out a way to win the country back," Davis said.

The images of sKerry in front of his adoring fans waving Kerry/Edwards signs still haunts me. What an egomaniac, well, I admit it would be ego lifting to stand in a crowd with everyone yelling your name, but I kept getting mental pictures of Hitler standing amongst his adoring fans. And Edwards with that hair video and that wife.

I heard David Gregory (NBC) telling Katie Couric that the president was depressed yesterday because they felt ALL DAY that Kerry was going to win. Why do I question that bit of news? I will never trust anything a reporter tells me again! They might have been confused because the exits were not showing what THEY KNEW to be the truth, but I seriesly don't think they were depressed.

These nazi comments always make me marvel at how emotional and thoughtless these liberals are. Don't they know that nazis hated and killed the jews? By contrast, the conservatives in the US are the best friends Israel have in the world. I work with a jewish guy and he voted for the first time in his life this election. He voted for Bush.

Our European "allies" are deeply saddened that we weren't "Spainified". But then, I don't expect former and present monarchies to understand what every freedom loving American feels in his or her bones.

At least they don't have to lament in German.

DEMs are the fascists - they are the 1s who don't mind us owning property as long as they get to tell us what to do w/it. Never mind all the pointless safety garbage "for your own good" and the good of insurance premiums. THAT is fascism; it is the definition of it.

Of course we all know they are communists at heart; but they can't quite get that far. So as it is, fascism is just a step below communism (NOT the opposite as these idiots believe), and that's all the DEMs have been able to accomplish as yet. But it's sufficient to say they, the DEMs, have succeeded in creating a fascist state.

The Botox didn't help enough. George Bush was made of stronger stuff. I never really took the lead. George Bush is who the people need. Windsurfing didn't help a bit. George Bush has always been a hit. I flipped and flopped to no avail. George Bush should throw my butt in jail. I leave you now to fade away. George Bush has clearly won today.

(Ignorance, bigotry, envy, and gluttony are a few floor joists in the democratic platform.)

Republicans are the liberals in the true sense of the word. They are the ones changing the world. The "liberals" as we used to define the term are actually reactionaries. They want to defend the status quo (secularism, abortion, the "living" constitution, pacifism, reliving the Viet Nam era, appeasement, the UN, global tests). The Republicans/Conservatives say "No More It has to change".

QUICK!! An EMERGENCY shipment of Maalox and Imodium is needed to help those poor unfortunates in the sub-region of the Mideast known as "Shitholeistan." Contributions can be sent to BinLadensgoingtobeasmearinacaveREALsoon.org
